There are two callers before me (from middle positions) who both have me covered.
So, if I get this right there is already 2,100 chips in the middle, and you only flat call? My point to this is there is 50% of your stack in the middle by winning the pot there and then, so why not try adn d so.

If you had pushed all in preflop whilst still having a fold equity the chances are the villain with K5 would not have called.

Okay I know this outs you in a coinflip situation, but you weren't that much better off having hit your queen imo.

Now you've created a pot that really is too tempting for the guy with the flush draw, he calls and hits.

I'm not faulting the post flop shove, but with a drawing hand like AK/AQ sometimes it's better to just use it to steal the blinds and get on with the tourney.
